Opening Weekend!!

Opening night has arrived!!!!
Yesterday we had our first dress rehearsal which was CHAOS backstage. As this show is a farce, there are costume changes and props galore. So I was madly taking notes for order of props to basically toss at people as they run by me backstage! At first it was really stressful for me to keep it all organized, but now I have it super organized and ready to open tonight!
We have been cleaning and weeding and making the theatre look its best for our first audience of the season!
I will make sure to take some more pictures and post them soon.
Off to rest before our last dress rehearsal!

two left hands

I have been running around like crazy the last few days.
I am props designer for Home is Where Your Clothes Are. So in the last few days I have, sewed a curtain, designed a British payphone, sewed 2 drawstring bags, printed off English pounds, painted some set, swept berries..... (Mulberries to be specific) *shakes fist at tree* as soon as you sweep, 10 more fall from the tree.... that tree is just lucky the berries taste great.
I'm glad i am not in this show. I had a bit of a break this week to find props, so I went to Omaha to get more supplies, and hopefully (cross your fingers), am done shopping for the most part.
Its gonna be a big week. We open our first two shows this weekend!!!!!! Woo!
